And there are several fun add-on sets available:
|
My first project is a book tracker page for my happy planner!
I like to keep track of the books I’ve read over the course of a year and the new Book Stacks Bold Print stamp is perfect for creating a tracker page! I simply stamped the image with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I colored everything with copic markers in rainbow shades. I decided, for aesthetic reasons, to color it first and then add book titles as I finish them; but you could also leave the big empty book spines white and then color them as you complete and add a new book title. There are plenty of other smaller decorative book spines that could be colored initially to give your page some color!
Once I finished coloring I adhered a sentiment from the kit stamped on pitch black cardstock and heat-embossed with silver embossing powder. I trimmed down the panel to 6×6 and then adhered it to a piece of pitch black cardstock cut slightly larger. I also used my Happy Planner punch to punch the cardstock edge so that it would fit in my binder. As you can see I’m a big reader but I can always use the Book Stacks stamp to keep adding pages as needed for my planner! And yes, I’m big into thrillers and mystery books, ha!
My next project is a more conventional card combining some of the add-ons with an older set!
I loved the sentiments in the Literary Quotes set and thought that the Peter Pan quote would be perfect for pairing with Fairy Kisses! I started by blending Thistle, Soft Purple, and Soft Pink ink onto a panel of white cardstock. Once it was dry I stamped the sentiment from Literary Quotes with embossing ink and heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder. Next I die-cut the Book Window fancy die from white cardstock and placed it over my ink blended background. While they were together I stamped the stardust from Fairy Kisses onto both panels with embossing ink and heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder. Then I added acetate to the back of the window panel and created a shaker with a layer of foam mounting tape. Inside the shaker I added tiny gold stars and sparkly glitter to fit the fairy dust theme!
Then I stamped the fairy from Fairy Kisses with embossing ink and heat-embossed her with gold embossing powder. I colored her with copic markers to resemble Tinkerbell and added accents with a a white gel pen and colored pencils. I die-cut her with the coordinating die and adhered her to my card. I used foam mounting tape to pop up her wings to give her a little extra dimension. And finally I added a little sparkle lacquer to her wings!
And that’s it for me! Head over and pick up your March My Monthly Hero kit and add-ons today before it sells out!

Beautiful cards.
I love the idea of creating a tracker card—I have just the place for it in my book journal! And the little fairy works so well with the sentiment in the second card–what a keeper!
Two very different looks an both are amazing. Thank you for sharing your work!
Such fun and creative ideas. Love these cards.
Love this kit and what you’ve done with it is spectacular! Your work, as always, is so meticulous and inspiring.
Hi Jessica…the books look fantastic in your planner and I like the card you made. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️
Oh Wow! I love the Peter Pan quote card…I didn’t think I needed any of the add-ons (wallet is hurting already!) but I sure can make a wish list for my b-day this month. TFS such beautiful projects
The fairy is so pretty. I love the sparkle, and the green!
Love your book tracker page! Ingenius!
I have to say the second card is definitely my favorite. Thank you for the inspiration!
I love the use of the fairy to make the card magical and tell a story that books create that magic too. Gorgeous card and your planner insert…so colorful and cheerful!!
Love, love, love your cards!
They are vibrant and whimsical. The first card is bold and dramatic with the dark background which makes the books pop. The fairy is a nice touch on the second card.
Beautiful projects Jessica! Such an awesome kit! 🥰
Ha Ha, I read The Whisper Man and the Second Wife. I love the big book backgound stamp especially when you can fill in your own titles! Crafting and reading are my 2 fave hobbies!
I’m a retired children’s librarian and couldn’t pass up this kit. Love it!
Love the book tracker idea! And that fairy card is just too pretty for words! I love the ethereal look of that one!
Awesome planner page and a beautiful card! Loving this pretty kit!
Your projects are amazing! I especially love all the books.
Your shaker card would be great for a young girl’s birthday. Great ideas! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! So much awesome inspiration ❣️ What a great idea to keep track of the books you read, and the fairy card is out of this world 💞
Gorgeous card and journal page…
Thanks for sharing.
such a great idea to combine this with an older set. It’s nice to see new ways to use our older stamps. I am excited that I have the other stamp set, and will give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration.
These are so fun!
